NaturalReader


NaturalReader is a free download that has the ability to convert written text to spoken words. It can read from many programs & files, such as Firefox, Safari, Word, Pages, email, & PDFs. Just copy & paste the text into the reader or turn on the Miniboard & highlight any text that you want it to read. It will then highlight the words as it reads it. You can even slow down the speed it reads to you. Finally, it can convert selected files into mp3s that can be played on portable devices like an iPod.

NaturalReader can act as a visional aide, & can also improve & help proofread students’ writing by having the computer read what you wrote. Font & text can be changed into different styles & sizes.
